  • Nikortsminda Cathedral
    Nikortsminda Cathedral was built in 1010–1014 during the reign of Bagrat III of Georgia and was repaired in 1534 by the King Bagrat III of Imereti. Three-storied bell-tower next to the cathedral was built in the 19th century. It is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nikortsminda has the Georgian cross-dome style of architecture with a massive dome and twelve windows decorated with ornamented architraves. Interior is decorated with frescoes from the 17th century and the rich ornaments, reflecting the mastery of the late-Medieval Georgian ecclesiastic art.
  • Qvabtkari - the waterfall of love. If you enter the cave, you will get married soon (legend).
  • Tsesi
    Barakoni Church of the Mother of God was built in 1753 by architect Avtandil Shulavreli by the local lord (eristavi) Rostom of Racha (1750-1769), commemorated in the inscription of the eastern façade. It is a domed cruciform church and one of the last important monuments of medieval Georgian architecture.
